Poetry Review

What is the main idea of the following poem:
The horse stood tall
Above them all.
He towered like a king
Such a beautiful thing.
He trotted with grace
With a perfect pace
The blue ribbon all a glow
He had finally won the show.

• The horse won the show
• The horse is ugly
• The horse was tired
• The horse was up on a hill
